Question

When should I RSVP by?

Answer

If you have not RSVPed by August of 2022 you will not be attending. Invites are sent out March of 2022 which is more than enough time to request days off...make a plan....and RSVP. Since the Bride is DIYing decor, and favors, and most things. We do need a proper guest count ASAP. So we are sorry to say if you didn't RSVP do not show up.

Question

The time on the invite says 4:10-4:20???

Answer

That is a ten minute window before we lock up the entrances to get ready for the ceremony! Because of how it is set up to get to your seat you would have to walk THROUGH the aisle, and to be sure that there isn't any disruptions or interruptions in the ceremony we ask that you be there BY 4:20 or you will not be allowed to watch the ceremony but will be let in for the reception.

Question

Should I bring anything?

Answer

When you received your invite a small square piece of paper inside will tell you to bring the invite itself! There a couple reasons for this! 1) we know some of you don't want to keep the invite after the wedding! That's fine if you bring it and hand it to the Bride's brother he will be collecting them and keeping them. That way you don't need to feel bad for not keeping it! We can dispose of it for you! If you would like to keep it that's fine too! Just let him check to make sure you have it <3 2) there are people whom are not invited that may try to sneak in anyway this is just a way to be sure everyone who is showing up was invited :)

Question

I brought a present, where will I put it?

Answer

If you are bringing a present which is always appreciated and thoughtful. When you enter and begin taking your seats or even when you bring your invite to check in with Tyler Schmitt, You can give the present to either Shanna or Tyler and they will be putting it in the room where we are all getting ready!

Question

Can I bring my Kids?

Answer

This wedding is Child Free. If they were not invited specifically do not bring them. They will not be allowed in and you will have wasted a trip. As much as we know those kiddos mean a lot to you, the Bride and Groom have asked that you leave them at home.

Question

What happens if I bring my kid anyway?

Answer

You will be asked to leave. We will have two people in the front entrance welcoming people and taking the invites, if you bring your child they will be asking you to leave. No ifs ands or Buts about it. If for some reason you cannot come because of your child, then RSVP and let us know you won't be attending. Thank you.

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

Unless on your invitation you were given a Plus one please refrain from bringing anyone extra. We gave out Plus ones to whomever we could! We did it based on our budget and pricing. Please respect that.

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

The dress code is Black tie! However I know this can come with questions. Please no ball gowns (poofy dresses) Unless they are short more cocktail style dresses. If it would look like a wedding dress if died white please choose something else. The only things that are completely off limits are....Wedding colors, Please don't wear Burgundy, gold, or any light pinks. Don't wear white. Feel free to wear whatever else you would like :)

Question

I have a food allergy, can I make a special request?

Answer

As I am sure everyone may know the Groom has a peanut allergy! So of course if you have an allergy we would love for you to tell us. We will have options for you if that is the case. However we will only be having alternative options for certain food requirements. If you are allergic to nuts, there will be no nuts involved in anything since the Bride and Groom are allergic to peanuts and almonds. There will be no fish, or shellfish. Any other allergies please email mikeyashleyely@gmail.com

Question

Why all the rules? It's a party!

Answer

On both sides of the wedding, Groom's and Bride's we have many people who we don't want there for our special day. We would like to ensure everyone including the Bride and Groom have the day of their lives. To do so we need the organization. It may seem excessive to you, however this will release a lot of pressure of the Bride and Groom.

Question

Is there transportation to and from the hotels to the ceremony?

Answer

No, budget wise there is no transportation. If you are over the age of 25 I would suggest renting a car if possible to be safe. Uber and Lyfts are also welcome but so that you feel more comfortable not driving with a stranger I would suggest renting a car. We want our guests to be safe! So if you are leaving the wedding after a fun night of enjoying drinks please do call and Uber or a lyft back to your hotel.

Question

Carpool?

Answer

PLEASE CARPOOL! If you are staying at the same hotel as someone else you know attending the wedding please feel free to carpool as there are only enough spaces on the cul de sac for 30 cars. If you didn't Lyft or Uber carpooling is one of the best options to save everyone a bit of frustration.

Question

Any hotels?

Answer

We do not have any one hotel that we would suggest. The wedding itself is in North Hollywood. so if you can find a hotel there I would recommend it. There are plenty right around the venue.

Question

What about Drinks?

Answer

We ask that you bring your own Alcohol! We will be providing: Soda (Caffeinated and non caffeinated) , Juice, and water. We will provide cups as well! Anything else you would like to drink please feel free to bring! I will have someone show you where to put them if you don't want to keep it on you. However we do ask that you wait for the reception to drink it!
